M·CAM’s Global Innovation Commons Debuts in Brazil, Launches in India, and Opens Doors in China

Florianopolis, Brazil; Delhi, India; Zheng Zhou, China. In it’s worldwide launch of the Global Innovation Commons initiative, M·CAM’s commitment to the development of equitable innovation engagement for the world was highlighted today. At the World Bank and IFC’s infoDev Global Forum in Florianopolis Brazil, M·CAM’s Executive Chairman, Dr. David Martin, officially unveiled and demonstrated the world’s first Global Innovation Commons on Clean/Green Energy and Water Technologies. Highlighting “open source” and freedom-to-operate technologies in the area of Hybrid Vehicles, Dr. Martin showed the most marginalized and middle income countries over 15,000 patents which have been filed in the industrialized countries but which have either been unprotected in the Most Marginalized States, not maintained and abandoned, or expired. Using this information, countries and their entrepreneurial ventures can immediately understand, create and market products to address critical technology needs without fear of patent infringement in the unprotected markets. At the inaugural unveiling of the Global Innovation Commons, the first password was given to Dr. H.K. Mittal of India’s Department of Science and Technology in honor of his contribution to inspiring M·CAM’s creation of this platform. To complete the global unveiling, M·CAM’s Open Innovation Engineer Megan DeLuccia introduced the Global Innovation Commons at a combined State Intellectual Property Office of the People’s Republic of China, Beijing East Linden, and Ministry of Science and Technology conference in Zheng Zhou China.
